Quality of Service

• WMM certified (prioritizes wireless traffic)

 

• Pre-authentication (WPA2 only)

 

• PMK caching for fast roaming (WPA2 only)

 

• DiffServ marking

 

 

AP Load Balancing

The NWA3000-N series AP can balance wireless network traffic

 

between the APs on your network by station quantity or by

 

traffic volume.

 

 

Wireless Intrusion

Rogue AP detection, classification, and suppression

Prevention

 

 

 

VLAN

802.1Q VLAN tagging

 

 

STP (Spanning Tree

(R)STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup

Protocol) / RSTP (Rapid

links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a bridge to

STP)

interact with other (R)STP-compliant bridges in your network to

 

ensure that only one path exists between any two stations on

 

the network.

 

 

Certificates

The NWA3000-N series AP can use certificates (also called

 

digital IDs) to authenticate users. Certificates are based on

 

public-private key pairs. Certificates provide a way to exchange

 

public keys for use in authentication.

 

 

SSL Passthrough

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) uses a public key to encrypt data

 

that's transmitted over an SSL connection. Both Netscape

 

Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL, and many Web

 

sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information,

 

such as credit card numbers. By convention, URLs that require

 

an SSL connection start with “https” instead of “http”. The

 

NWA3000-N series AP allows SSL connections to take place

 

through the NWA3000-N series AP.

 

 

MAC Address Filter

Your NWA3000-N series AP checks the MAC address of the

 

wireless station against a list of allowed or denied MAC

 

addresses.

 

 

Wireless Association List

With the wireless association list, you can see the list of the

 

wireless stations that are currently using the NWA3000-N

 

series AP to access your wired network.

 

 

Logging and Tracing

Built-in message logging and packet tracing. The NWA3000-N

 

series AP stores up to 512 event logs or 1024 debug logs.

 

 

Embedded FTP Server

The embedded FTP server enables fast firmware upgrades as

 

well as configuration file backups and restoration.

 

 

SNMP

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is a protocol

 

used for exchanging management information between

 

network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol

 

suite. Your NWA3000-N series AP supports SNMP agent

 

functionality, which allows a manger station to manage and

 

monitor the NWA3000-N series AP through the network. The

 

NWA3000-N series AP supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1),

 

version two c (SNMPv2c), and version three (SNMPv3).

 

 

DFS

DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) and TPC (Transmit Power

 

Control) from IEEE 802.11h allows a wider choice of 802.11a

 

wireless channels.

 

 

CAPWAP

The ZyXEL Device can be managed via CAPWAP (Control And

 

Provisioning of Wireless Access Points), which allows multiple

 

APs to be configured and managed by a single AP controller.
